Just was coincidentally chatting to Demon to change how I pay them*
and while I was at it, I asked about antispam measures a customer can
take and yes, bouncing is fine... they would just contact the account
holder to ask what had happened if they got a complaint and bouncing
forged spam is a legitimate excuse. They also said they can change a
hostname if it gets way too bad, though I don't want to do that! Been
on this one for so long, the first PC I had connected was a 286
running KA9Q...

I'm not going to comment on the effectiveness 'til I've finished my 2
week trial!

*never, ever rely on hotmail to transfer you to a secure site on an
html link from one of their emails - I ended up with a compromised
card number :-(
